Was the farewell dinner for Rashid Khalidi a high profile event?

I actually agree with Khalidi that if you are being occupied and the force used in a conflict situation is between combatants and not targeting civilians, that that kind of situation is not terrorism. Terrorism in my opinion is violence against civilians for political goals. I know this is not a widespread view in the US, but I believe that both the Israelis and the Palestinians share the blame for what has been going on over there for 60 years. Too often, Israeli and Palestinian leaders have put their own interests in terms of staying in power before the wider interests of their people for peace and mutual respect for their respective coexistence. And before you ask I am not an Arab or Muslim.
